[edit] Videogames
Having grown up in the advent of early gaming, they're an important part of his life. Although he follows modern gaming, he favors "retro" games, or games nostalgic of the early ones. He currently has a Nintendo DS, and is excited about the upcomming Wii. Some of his favorite series:
- Metal Gear Solid - Tetris DS - Jet Set Radio - Silent Hill - Meteos - Rez - Ghost in the Shell (video game) - Castlevania
[edit] Technology
Usually Kris is up-to-date with computers and sound recording and reproduction. His first computer was a Macintosh LC. After being frustrated by the lack of games available, he decided to build a custom PC. The PC had a lot more music sequencer's and digital audio editor's. Yet, he has returned to the world of Apple Computer. Current toys:
- iBook - ipod - Bose (audio) - Nintendo DS
Instruments - Hammond organ - Slide guitar - Pedal steel guitar - Roland TR-808 - Roland TB-303

[edit] Personality
Most consider Kris as a modern day "hipster doofus", but on occasion he can be quite the shaman.
Most find him confusing, but under this facade he's actually quite warm.
Conspiracy theories... question everything. It's a crooked world, with shadowy higher ups.
Humor... like the link above. Don't take life too seriously... Enjoy. Have fun.
